The exhaustion is real, people. I have spent the entire day talking about how tired I am and I will do so again if I don’t keel over and sleep. Keeping it real simple like I did with TEB – names on the podium. I’ll hopefully have time to spell out my thoughts a bit more before the GPF. The roster here is fairly strong and hopefully that’ll make the predictions a little more straightforward. Though you never know. Ice is slippery, after all. Now, predictions!

Men

Looks like they built up good rosters everywhere else to water down this one.

Gold: Yuzuru Hanyu
Silver: Nathan Chen
Bronze: Jason Brown

Possible spoiler: Mikhail Kolyada

Ladies

They may try to give this one to Miyahara if she doesn’t UR too much.

Gold: Anna Pogorilaya
Silver: Satoko Miyahara
Bronze: Maria Sotskova

Pairs

I’m not sure if Duhamel & Radford can be defeated this season with so many of the top teams injured or still working out the kinks in new partnerships.
